Memes

Internet memes are ideas that result in frequently-copied images, videos, concepts and catchphrases adopted by a specific subculture. Once My Little Pony Friendship is Magic aired and grew in popularity, memes developed and propagated by the fanbase quickly started following.

Baby ponies -- Where adult characters from the show are drawn as foals.

[X] IS BEST PONY -- Where [X] represents a character from the show, not limited to ponies.

Pony Shrug -- Where the ponies are seen shrugging. The original picture, of Pinkie Pie shrugging, was drawn by MegaSweet, in black and white; however, it is unknown who colored it in originally.[1] It has since been edited to depict different ponies.

Brohoof - Where two characters pound their hooves together like a high-five or fist bump.

Ponylicious - Tara Strong posted a tweet that said, "I'm the T to the W-I, L-I-G-H-T, and ain't no other pony troll it down like me. I'm Twilightlicious." She later posted a sound byte of her rapping that in character as Twilight, which was later set to animation by BlackGryph0n, who later made further Ponylicious animations with the rest of the Mane Six (save Rarity), which was imitated by others. This meme was referenced by Apple Bloom in Pinkie Apple Pie.

When Rainbow Dash gets jealous of the fun the ponies in the dance club upstairs are having, Twilight insists they can have fun as well, and starts doing a dance remix about sweeping. In an interview segment, Rainbow and Applejack deny that the remix is not catchy, which is contradicted by the next segment in which they join Twilight.

Trollestia - Given her tendency to cause exasperating situations for Ponyville (e.g. sending two tickets for the Grand Galloping Gala to Twilight Sparkle when she knew Twilight had six friends, and when asked about that, responded "Well you could have asked"), fans like to portray her as such.

Hello everypony. Did I miss anything? - Her line at the end of A Canterlot Wedding, in which she shows up to the reception having missed out on all the action with the Changelings. Typically used when someone knowingly walks in at the end of, say, a troll-slaying event.

Seapony Lyra - In response to the speculation about Seaponies, Lyra is often portrayed as one.

Other Friendship is Magic fandom memes

A comic of a human Lauren Faust at a laptop, reacting to something - This has been manipulated in a many different ways.

Misc

Dark matter ponies - originated with the My Little Pony Physics Presentation, when the man giving it asserted that in order for the butterflies to truly arrest Fluttershy's downward movement as they were depicted as doing in The Cutie Mark Chronicles, the butterflies would need to be made up of dark matter to have a realistic acceleration.

Gak - During the commercial breaks for the episode seasonpremiere there was an advertisement which was aired several times on The Hub for a product called Gak (an old Nickelodeon product notorious for its elastic properties and "fart" sounds). During one commercial break, four unique commercial breaks for the product were aired in a row.[2][3] On the same day that the episode aired, a significant amount of Gak related pony fan labor was released. Some people have created videos where select dialog from the show is replaced with some excerpts from the Gak ads,[4][5] whereas others were animated from scratch.[6] Furthermore, many artists have created artwork where ponies discover Gak,[7][8][9][10][11] purchase Gak,[12][13] or are made of Gak.[14][15][16][17][18][19] Gak is sometimes its own pony.[20][21] Often, the ponies get stuck in Gak.[22][23][24][25] The deviantArt group MyLittleGak was established the same day the episode aired. Said group prepared their NSFW folder in advance. There is even an Ask Pony blog for Gak called Ask Gak Pony which was featured on Equestria Daily.[26] Music was not left out of the equation, as there are several fan made songs by brony musicians relating to Gak.[27][28][29][30] Gak is often portrayed as having a mind of its own, and attacks the ponies. This in turn sprouted the idea that Gak is related to Smooze, a G1 pony villain that was a sentient flood of ooze.[31][32][33]
